Cellular network by Points Open Source
Although it has been emphasized in recent years to open source projects or open source, especially as far as software is concerned, there is a sector where development has been emphasized in this type of open source projects, that would benefit both developers and users to significantly reduce certain costs, and I mean projects cellular networks.
It may be hard to imagine an open source network, that would provide good services and low costs, which was convenient for everyone, but for 3 years, engineers and David A. Samar Harbinger Burgess found developing a system of open source with these characteristics, which have called Points and has been a year as a serious solution in the market, in fact the island of Niue has implemented last year as a cellular network Points urgent , which later gave way to a more advanced fourth generation, i.e. to implement Points served in the first cell phone.
Points operating systems based on UNIX, and works with open source software like Asterisk PBX. In theory allow anyone who so desires to implement its own cellular network (GSM is also possible with CDMA but it complicates the process), and the user cost would be about $ 1 a month (taking into account the maintenance of the Cooperating Points and other costs), and plans used to implement wireless networks in rural areas, still cheaper than fiber optics and LTE networks.
